It's been a long long time since I delved into the Mailbag, and having just peeked into it.. .. It's completely empty. So, I'm reopening the mailbag. If you've any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, game wishes, or .. Anything.. At all!! The Mailbag is Open

I'm fairly sure I can make a draw-buffer work on the 3DS, but it seems I have a limit of 256x256 pixels due to my ongoing memory issues. For the Desktop side of the Framework, I typically work with buffers of 1024x1024, so that's a 1/4 scaling thing from the get-go. On the 3DS Framework, sometimes it uses full sized PC images when they're small enough, whilst other times it refers to smaller 1/4 sized scaled down images. This is more or less the same issue on the buffer's side of thin...

After each game's release, my inbox is filled with the writings of all the people who bothered to play it. Let's see what @RSKGames thinks of this weeks game! You can Download Franken Hopper here.

I don't normally post a game on a Saturday, but with all the things I had to remember to do, I figured it best to make an early start on this week's posting incase things got a little crazy!

Eating bugs, just for fun!

The new choon that appeared last night, Generous Justice, is the music for Franken-Hopper.

I've just noticed a really odd bug in my site, via the method of visiting another site! Over at Nintendo Max they've listed Flappadiddle as being from October 2017. "October 2017? It definitely isn't from then.. Where on earth have they got THAT date from?" .. I checked my own site, and... Oh.. The dates on the downloads in the Game Archive Downloads have been wrong since the site rewrite!!!

I tried to tackle the online-leaderboard component of my 3DS target, yesterday. It didn't go well at all!

Having solved the "gap" issue from last night's post, I spent some time fiddling with the actual game.

Already the scaling is causing quirks!!

I did a little coding, yesterday, but nowhere near enough to be worthy of blogging about. Instead, I sat and played quite a lot of Words With Friends (Username : Jayenkai, if you want to join in) and watched a ton of random bits and pieces on YouTube. I've been watching a lot of Disneyland-Secrets things, lately, and I'm not really sure why. TPMVids filled an alarming amount of my time, last night. Either it's the hot weather, or it's my mind's way of saying "Hey, I wrote this wh...

I can happily code in all kinds of weather, but when it's sunny, things start to slow down a whole bunch.

The epic Flappadiddle-Doo is now available on 3DS Homebrew. 95% of the game is intact, but the tiled backgrounds have vanished due to "I haven't added buffer-drawing to the 3DS Framework yet!" reasons. Otherwise, it's pretty much identical. 6 worlds, 6 birds, 6 endless modes, and a whole lot of flappiness! You can Download Flappadiddle-Doo here for Windows, Linux, MacOS and now 3DS Homebrew, too!! (I'm going to need to make 3DS Cases, now, aren't I!?!)

I might add a few extra functions for primitive drawing, or maybe a setting somewhere or something. It's not too much of an issue, in that I know why it's drawing things at different scales, but it'd be a little easier if I didn't have to worry about whether something's going to be "The same scaled position as the larger desktop version" or "The exact location on the screen"
